As a matter of fact, it often disables the security programs and prevents the virus signature database from updating.

Always pay maximum attention whenever you install freeware. Download only from official and trusted websites. Avoid unofficial websites that excessively promote their freeware as most often that’s just a trick to infiltrate infections. Many developers promote various tools for users to activate additional malicious software such as the MySearchPage.net browser hijacker.
